In general, it happens, yes.

In this particular thread, not really. I mean, the "weirdest" thing I've read in this thread is chicken on pizza. I think I can safely say I've ever seen/heard it here. At face value, I have to admit I'm a bit perplexed. I don't feel it fits the "pizza-y" atmosphere lol but I can't say I'd never try it (depending on the rest of the toppings). I love trying new foods. So there's that.

Also, one thing I've heard being present only in the US (not sure if somebody does it here, but I seriously doubt it) is the cheese-filled crust.

You can't have too much cheese on something....

I submit - you could eat a bowling ball if it had enough cheese on it...

When I was a kid we used to spend 3 weeks out of the year in Italy, in what was a fishing village back then.

The only pizzas I remember were all seafood pizzas. Unfortunately I was too young to register what all ingredients there were, but damn, to this day it's engraved in my memory as the best pizzas ever! I haven't actually even seen any seafood pizzas since. Yet I remember the taste....

Seafood pizza is great! ...as long as the seafood is properly preserved lol

What was the village's name? Do you remember it?

I thought the chicken pizza sounded like a terrible idea, too. (Wasn't real keen on the whole wheat crust, either.) Almost didn't try it, despite my love of strange foods. In the end, that love is what won me over, and I'm glad I did. It was delicious!

Not sure of the spelling, I wasn't spelling much back then, but sounds like Cabbicce Mare? There was also a Cabbicce Monte. Rimini was in the general area too, we passed through that just before reaching Cabbicce. In later years they turned into big, ugly tourist spots and we quit going there in the early 60s because of that. We used to go to the harbor when the fishermen came home in the eve and they would fry up some of their catch right on the boat and sell it right there... yum, good dinners! I have very fond memories of the place, but, alas, it doesn't exist anymore. Well, not the way it was then.

Oh, and the pizzas were fresh made as you waited, with the catch that just came in that evening. Nothing preserved. They also had a wonderful fish soup. And langustinos. And... oh, just yum!
